I once knew the owner of an English school in a small Polish village and she once told me a disturbing story. She claimed that her business was almost destroyed because she had a Halloween party the previous year. Basically, the local priest told his perish that anyone who attended the school was a heretic and that all saints day was the only thing real christians could observe. I was confused because Halloween is about eating candy and dressing up, no American I had ever met treated it as a religious day, it had nothing in common with All saints day.
A few years later I was invited to Polskie Radio Jedynka to debate a priest on the topic, when I told him that for me ghosts and monsters are fictional he exclaimed that for satanist they are real, which was probably one of the most ridiculous things I had ever heard. Anyways, the truth is that I don’t believe most Polish people would believe that Halloween had anything to do with religion, but to be sure, I hit the streets to ask people directly their feelings on the matter.
